Project description:This experiment tested the affects of different diets on mice prostate metabolites. The diets ranged from zinc sufficient to zinc deficient and a third group that included zinc deficient mice that were put back on zinc sufficient diets.

Project description:Observational studies in human suggest involvement of vitamin A/retinoic acid (RA) signaling in the regulation of airway smooth muscle (ASM) function, but the precise mechanisms by which RA impacts ASM phenotype is not clear. Here, we generated trascriptional profiles from two different models of RA-sufficient and RA-deficient mouse ASM in order to determine the molecular targets of RA in ASM (VAS/VAD, CTR/BMS) Mouse ASMs were isolated from Acta2-hrGFP;Cspg4-DsRED adult mice using flow cytometry. VAS mice were given normal, vitamin A-sufficient diet (15 IU vitamin/g) while the VAD mice were given 3 days of vitamin A-deficient diet (< 0.1 IU vitamin/g). CTR/BMS mouse ASMs were also isolated from Acta2-hrGFP;Cspg4-DsRED adult mice using flow cytometry. CTR mice were given 3 days of powdered, vitamin A sufficient diet mixed with vehicles (corn oil) while the BMS diet were given 3 days of powdered, vitamin A sufficient diet mixed with a potent pan-RA-receptor antagonist (BMS, 5 mcg/g).
